I left Boston in 1967 to move to West Virginia as part of the hippie migration "back to the land" (which was ridiculous 'cause I was a city boy ... how could I go back to the land? ... never mind) ....
My friend had purchased 132 acres of 4 miles up a hollah and in the second year we bought Bill and Bob ... the gentle giants ... two half-brother Percherons ... coal black.
Folks ... to appreciate a magnificent animal, you have to work behind a couple of draft horses pullin' timber out of the woods. Watching muscles run and watching muscles work are two entirely differenty worlds of art.
Life changes ... That was another time ... but I'll never forget Bill and Bob.
